Washington Redskins… you will now win the NFC East

SHOCKER ALERT!!! The Philadelphia Eagles traded Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb to division rival Washington Redskins. I gotta say I am surprised I’m writing this blog right now. Who really would have thought Donovan McNabb would actually land in Washington? Not me.

The Redskins now have five quarterbacks on their roster. Granted that’s way too many and you will most likely see two of them vanish. That means you Jason Campbell. Sorry.

Now let’s all take a deep breath here and analyze the situation…

Head Coach Mike Shanahan has been reunited with running back Clinton Portis. The Skins actually have a QB and Santana Moss now has some one to play catch with. The Skins have three former Pro Bowl running backs; Portis, Willie Parker and Larry Johnson. The new and improved offense will take some pressure off of the star-studded defense the Skins have. Both defensive tackle Albert Hanyesworth and corner back DeAngelo Hall can now breath. Let’s remember Coach Shanahan knows how to win.

Do you know what this all equals? A playoff berth that is desperately needed in a city that has the money that can’t put together a good season. Let’s be real, the Cowboys are the Cowboys and they always falter eventually. The Giants are falling and falling quickly. I’m sorry New Yorkers, but Eli isn’t Peyton and he never will be. Their defense isn’t as good as it use to be and neither is their offense. They don’t have a productive Brandon Jacobs anymore, he didn’t even hit the 1,000 rushing yard mark this season. That’s too much pressure for baby Manning. And where to start with the Eagles. They don’t know who or where or what they are anymore. The players they’ve released make you question who’s running the front office. A two year old? I mean come on Brian Westbrook? Really Phillie?

This has paved the way for a great season in Washington. So America, grab your popcorn, sit in your favorite recliner and relax. Because the Washington Redskins are going to win the Super Bowl. Yes, I realize that’s a bold prediction but come on, it’s the NFL. The Saints went from the “dog house” to the “pent house” in one year. A team from the NFC West made it to the Super Bowl two years ago.
